Milestone-based scope
Overview
Apps fail for predictable reasons: scope defined before user behaviour is understood, and architecture chosen before the business model settles.
We work the other way. Define the smallest version that proves the value, ship it, instrument it, and expand against evidence.
What you get
Everything below is included in a standard engagement — no line items that appear later.
Product definition
User journeys, feature prioritisation and a release plan that puts something real in users' hands early.
Cross-platform builds
One codebase serving iOS, Android and web where it makes sense — native where it genuinely does not.
Backend & data
Authentication, database design, permissions and APIs built on managed infrastructure that scales without a devops hire.
Design systems
A component library so the tenth screen costs a fraction of the first.
Analytics from day one
Event tracking, funnels and retention reporting wired before launch, not retrofitted.
Store launch & iteration
App Store and Play submissions, release management, and a roadmap driven by real usage data.
Transparent pricing
How much does a custom website cost?
Most Algorank builds land between $5,000 and $40,000. The variables are page count, how much content we write and produce, and whether the site needs functionality such as e-commerce, booking or an AI layer. Every project is quoted as fixed scope after a discovery call, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
$5,000 – $12,000
Single-service local businesses and trades who need the phone to ring.
- 6–12 custom pages
- Copy shaped with you
- Local SEO foundation
- Quote form and click-to-call
- Analytics and Search Console
$12,000 – $28,000
Established firms with several services, locations or audiences to rank for.
- 20–60 pages
- Service and location architecture
- Content production
- Structured data
- Migration and redirect plan
$28,000 – $60,000+
E-commerce, portals, configurators and AI-assisted experiences.
- Custom application work
- Integrations and CRM routing
- AI assistant or estimator
- Performance engineering
- Ongoing iteration
What moves the price
- Number of pages and templates
- Whether copy and photography exist already
- E-commerce catalogue size
- Integrations: CRM, booking, payments, inventory
- Migration complexity from the current platform
- AI features and the amount of knowledge to structure
How we differ
A fair comparison against how this work is commonly delivered.
| Feature | Algorank | Typical alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Design | Custom art direction per project | Marketplace theme, restyled |
| Front end | Hand-built components, server-rendered | Page-builder plugin stack |
| SEO | Architecture planned before design | Plugin installed after launch |
| Migration | Every ranking URL preserved or redirected | Redirects added if asked |
| Speed | Core Web Vitals budgeted and tested | Measured after complaints |
| Ownership | You own the code, content and domains | Locked to the vendor platform |
A good fit if
- You are established and the website is now the weakest part of the business
- You already have some Google visibility and cannot afford to lose it
- The site needs to produce enquiries, not just look current
- You want to own the code and the content outright
Probably not for you if
- You need a one-page brochure launched this week for under $1,000
- You want the cheapest possible build with no involvement in content
- You are looking for a hosting-only or DIY editor arrangement
If that is you, say so on the call — we will tell you straight and point you somewhere better.
From experience
The mistakes that cost the most.
Rebuilding without an inventory of what ranks
The single most expensive mistake in a redesign. Pages that quietly earn impressions get deleted, URLs change without redirects, and traffic drops the week after launch. The audit costs a day and protects years of work.
Buying a design instead of a sales conversation
A beautiful homepage that never states what you do, where you do it and what happens next will lose to a plain page that does. Clarity outperforms cleverness on every service site we have measured.
Choosing a platform because it is cheap to start
Page builders are inexpensive in month one and expensive in year three, when the site is slow, the markup is unusable and nobody can change a template without breaking two others.
Leaving conversion to the contact page
Buyers decide on the page they landed on. If the enquiry path only exists in the navigation, you are asking every visitor to do extra work to give you money.

Questions
Still unsure? Call +1 (613) 416-9512 and speak to the person who would run the project.
How much does an app cost?
+
A focused first release typically starts around $25,000. Complexity in real-time features, integrations and compliance drives it up. We scope in phases so you can stop or expand at each milestone.
Do I need native iOS and Android apps?
+
Often not. Many products are better served by a progressive web app or a cross-platform build, which halves the cost of every future feature.
